Consistency and Quality
Don’t stress over being “Great.”
Get good at consistency and focus on quality.
That’s what I look for in things I bring into my life.
Consistency and quality.
As a Gym owner, “Fitness” guru of sorts and All Natural bodybuilder, I definitely search for this in supplementation.
Since I know what to look for and have found it, it is disturbing to see the marketplace trends and strategies.
I hear it and see it all the time.
30 day cleanse.
Gummy vitamins.
Snake Oil sales preying on insecurities and then peddling uncertified crap** recent studies have shown that 50% of what is sold in the mass consumer market is mislabeled/contaminated/contains illegal substances. REMINDER: supplements are not regulated.
What does one do?
In a marketplace full of empty promises, the best certification system in place for the USA consumer is with the NSF certified for sport program. This verifies that the product has had its label claims verified by a 3rd party. From the ingredients to the quality and efficacy, you know you are getting what you pay for.

This is very important since you are depending on these products to fill in nutritional gaps that exist in everyone’s diets and especially for those that exercise regularly.
Your supplements should properly support your eating habits.
If you don’t eat wild fatty fish 3-5 times per week, you should be taking an NSF certified omega supplement with the right amounts of EPA (360mg) and DHA (240mg) for clinically effective doses:
“SuperOmega-3 contains the fatty acids DHA and EPA in the proper amounts and ratio to support heart/cardiovascular system, brain and eye health. Contains no mercury or harmful PCBs. Made from wild caught Alaska Pollock, from a certified, sustainable source. 3rd Party tested and NSF Certified for Sport!”

There are many more reasons that I exclusively use and recommend dotFIT. When it comes down to it, there are so many variables in nutrition and fitness, your supplements shouldn’t be one of those things.
Take away the guesswork. You don’t need a myriad of products to fill in essential nutrients.
EVERYONE should be on a multivitamin from womb to tomb.
WOMB? Whom?
PRENATALS. Your mother likely took them. That’s a multivitamin.
No matter how well we try to get all the nutrients we need from our food, there’s going to be deficiencies in key areas due to many variables outside of consumer control.
A high quality daily multivitamin is a big help in shoring up the gaps in the daily diet. Having your daily multivitamin won’t turn you into a superhero, but it will go a long way in helping your body maintain consistent nutrient levels.
“Properly designed, full spectrum multivitamin & mineral formula includes a “controlled release” delivery system. This formula has levels of Vitamins A, C and E to support the antioxidant needs of exercising individuals. Now includes Choline and higher amounts of Vitamin D and Vitamin C not typically found in other formulas. 3rd party tested and NSF Certified for Sport!”

What other things are you not getting from your food each day? A tasty shake or two per day can help you control your eating habits, get ready faster, save money, get a satiating-no guilt treat that fulfills a meal requirement…the reasons go on and on. There are many powder choices available from dotFIT to cover every need out there.
From the classic low carb, high protein WheySmooth (Which can be added to any of the other blends to bolster the protein count when needed), to the youth formula FirstString, there’s something for everyone.
Plant based–vanilla, chocolate, and unflavored with optional flavor packets.
Pre/post: a perfect blend of protein and carbs for active individuals that need a few more carbs then the WheySmooth offers. Tastes great with just water or pair with the other powders in a smoothie for a larger meal.
There is also the LeanMealReplacement powder. This is great for those that are strictly using the powder as a morning or midday snack. This is not a pre/post workout formula. You definitely can add WheySmooth powder to this one too in order to meet your daily protein needs and it is quite tasty.
Well there’s a quick rundown on those products.
I put a list of various “Stacks” below.
Even if you don’t exercise on a regular basis, you will benefit greatly from proper supplementation. If you do exercise on a regular basis, proper supplementation is essential to your continued progression.
